Summary - SARISBURY GATE FLAT 23 DOVE GARDENS PARK GATE SOUTHAMPTON SO31 7FP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Secure, low-maintenance living near shops, transport and communal facilities.
First-floor retirement apartment, redecorated with new carpets
A bright, newly redecorated first-floor retirement apartment offering low-maintenance living in Park Gate. The flat has fresh carpets, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen and a three-piece shower room — ready to move into with no onward chain. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry room, on-site parking (first-come, first-served) and a staffed site manager, with secure entry for added peace of mind.
Important practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with 63 years remaining and an average service charge of £2,636 per year; some mortgage lenders may refuse loans against shorter leases. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters and the property uses mains electricity, so running costs should be considered. Ground rent is low (£25) and the EPC is a good B.
This property will suit a retired buyer seeking a social, managed setting close to local shops, transport and amenities, or an investor aware of lease length implications. The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and a tidy communal exterior, but the site sits in an area with higher crime statistics, so prospective purchasers should view and check local reports.
Overall, this apartment offers convenient, ready-to-live-in accommodation with useful communal support. Buyers must weigh the convenience and communal services against the limited lease length and ongoing service charges before committing.
